I think the most intriguing article I’ve read over the last week was the one where Wired magazine told the world that blogs were so old-fashioned that no one should expect to launch and grow a new blog big enough to be noticed at all any more. I can honestly tell this is one of the best things I’ve read in quite a while and I can agree with Valleywag’s writer Paul Boutin (who authored the article for Wired) [...]

There's another side of social media, and some of us were unfortunate enough to have witnessed it tonight.
Louis Gray has already written about the events that occurred during a Yahoo! Live broadcast with Wayne Sutton and Corvida. I was only there for part of it after seeing a Tweet from Louis and logging in as quickly as I could look up my rarely-used Yahoo password.
There's some analogy here to a stone being thrown into a pond and the ripples [...]

Yesterday was probably one of the most surreal days I've had in almost 15 years online, by far. I'd been talking to Louis Gray about doing some guest posting on his blog, and had a cute little story that I didn't feel fit in anywhere else, so I wrote it up for his blog as my first guest appearance. It was a cute little story about how I used Seesmic to get my toddler to bed the night before, [...]

I'm not talking about the tech blogosphere, who've shown a decided preference for infighting and attempting to eat their young. I'm talking about parents.
We exist in all forms online: in the tech blogosphere, in MMOs, on forums, and as mommy bloggers, but no matter what area we find ourselves spending most of our time in, we are a tightknit group of loosely connected people. Yes, if you make the mistake of mentioning something like circumcision or the decision to formula-feed, [...]

The other night, my husband asked me a question I had no answer for: when we've moved on to whatever Web 3.0 is going to be, what will be left of Web 2.0? There are carryovers from the 1.0 Bubble, but when you think about it, the Web itself is 1.0. And Tim Berners-Lee himself has argued that we can't delineate Web 2.0 since so much of the technology has existed since the beginning of the Web.
Everyone has tried to [...]

I missed an embargo lifting this morning.
It's happened on occasion when life has overtaken my planned schedule for testing and writing, or we've missed an email due to the enormous amount of spam that often comes into the address for pitches, but I would much rather miss being "one of the first" to review a new product or service than put out an article that shows little to no effort.
What is disappointing to me is the number of blogs I [...]

Poor Louis. He may end up sorry that he ever raised his FriendFeed pompoms toward me. I've spent the past two days crawling all over FriendFeed to give it the chance that I never did. I added it to Twhirl so I could follow the updates during the day.
The truth is that I now detest it even more than I did before, but it's for different reasons.
My initial impression (and complaint) back when I first reviewed FriendFeed was that it [...]

 
I started thinking about how spouses and partners react to social media yesterday, after receiving a few comments about my interactions with my husband on Twitter. We probably aren't the typical couple, having met in an online chat room in 1995, and we have been known to IM each other across the couch rather than have an actual conversation. However, until a few days ago, he'd been avoiding Twitter completely, and I hadn't realized what a change it would be [...]

All hail Twitter Local which clued me in that RSSmeme creator Ben Golub actually lives in my own backyard. I planned on waiting until the next Open Coffee Club to grill him, but in honor of RSS Day, I bumped up my plan of attack and he agreed to an interview in honor of the day.
Cyndy: So what prompted you to come up with RSSmeme?
Ben: It's really all thanks to Louis Gray, who hyped Readburner, which is a great [...]
